Looking in the picture above accompanying the article, the player sits far enough from the screen to make the curve an unnecessary gimmick. But to each their own. Curved screens are this decade's 3D screens. Companies have probably spent more on marketing than on the engineering and they're still just a gimmicky solution in search of a problem.
I doubt that you have really watched/gamed on a curved screen. You want to be sitting at the center of the screen's radius. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the gamer seems at about the right spot.
I can't think of a single thing that I want to watch in 3D; and I especially don't want to wear cumbersome expensive glasses to do so. But, I want everything that I do on computer or TV to have the best viewing experience possible -- which is sitting at the center point of a curved screen. Curved screens may fail (probably because people don't realize the benefits), but there are very compelling reasons for curved screens.
You must never have used a quality curved-screen in the appropriate setting. They are far from a gimmick. Yes, the R-rating of the curvature needs to match the user's nominal distance from the screen. When done correctly, the result is nothing short of amazing.
On a large-size flat the corners/edges will be a significantly further distance from the viewer's eyes than the center of the screen. Thus the periphery will appear smaller to the viewer than the center. On a proper (r-value appropriate) screen, the periphery will equidistant to the viewer's eyes as the center of the screen.
In laymen's terms, that means that a large screen that is properly curved will actually APPEAR as a flat display from the user's point of view. And that is why it is hardly a gimmick. Please stop trying to obfuscate. This is a desperately needed quality improvement in this segment.
2160p, 60fps, 40-48", curved (1500-1800r). Sell it for $999 or less and you can take my money now.
I use the 48" CX as my primary and sit about an arm's length plus a few inches - it's a comfortable dpi but a curve would be welcome to unskew the corners
This post has left me scratching my head about what the actual product(s) is here. Have they created a display that they can reuse in multiple products - a curved monitor AND a flat TV - or have they created a display than can be placed into a single product that can be adjusted by the owner to either be curved or flat depending on use? I'm really hoping for the latter.
I think it's the latter. The issue is going to be what the resolution is. 1ms response is great, and 1000r is fantastic for immersion. I'm currently using a 60 FPS, 2160p 40" curved screen (3000r), and I would love a bump on the refresh rate, size, response time, curvature, and HDR support.
I hate how the industry keeps tap-dancing around what I want. The lack of 2160p, curved, 40" options is shocking. And no, 5760x1080 is not "4k". Stop trying to sell us 1080p ultrawide as "4k"; that's as horrible of a lie as convincing the market that 1080p was somehow an improvement on WUXGA (it's not).
So now we have about a bazillion 27" panels with 144hz or 240hz refresh, most of which are 1080p. All of which are total garbage to a true videophile such as myself. It's as maddening as when the industry purged 16:10 from the market.
Who are these tyrannical overlords who keep trying to brainwash the public into thinking that less is more?
Would i be able to call the TV fix professional at my home?
Indeed, the TV fix experts can fix the DLP TVs, https://repair.yaantra.com/ledtv/samsung-led-tv-re... Rear Projection TVs and Picture Tube TVs generally at your home. In any case, because of intricacy of present day LED, LCD, Plasma TVs and the exceptional test gear needed to fix them.some TV fixes may should be done at the completely prepared studios.
I got excited that they were finally releasing another G Flex phone....and then saw it was about a TV. Loved the G Flex original only phone that was good enough without a case to not bust under my weight against a ladder , cinder block you name it.
Besides the sick people’s treatment, this excellent anointing oil has religious factors even people bless their living spaces with this anointing oil from Jerusalem.

Curved 48" for gaming? How far do they think the gamer is from the screen? 4 feet?SirMaster - Monday, January 4, 2021 - link
Are you saying that's far or close?Ideally I would sit about 3.5ft from a 48" diagonal 16:9 display for gaming.
